Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream – 20g

About Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream

Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream contains mepyramine maleate 2% w/w, an antihistamine that helps relieve pain, itching, and inflammation caused by insect bites, stings, and nettle rash.

It works by blocking the action of histamine — a chemical produced by the body during allergic reactions. By reducing histamine’s effect, it quickly soothes discomfort and irritation on the skin.

Anthisan should be applied to the affected area as soon as possible after the bite or sting for the best results.

What is Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream Used For?

Anthisan is used to treat pain, itching, and swelling caused by insect stings, insect bites, and nettle rash. It provides soothing relief from irritation and discomfort and helps reduce redness and inflammation in the affected area.

Who is Anthisan Suitable For?

Anthisan is suitable for adults, the elderly, and children aged 2 years and older.

Do not use Anthisan if you:

• Are allergic to mepyramine or any of the other ingredients
• Have eczema or broken, grazed, or sunburnt skin
• Need to treat large areas of skin

Speak to your pharmacist or doctor before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to Use Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream

1. Apply a small amount directly to the affected skin.
2. Use two or three times a day for up to three days.
